Hello,

I found a problem in autofs for a NIS map case on Linux Red Hat 6.2,
autofs-3.1.4-4.i386.rpm.

Like documented (man 5 auto.master) I would like to use a local auto.master
file and a NIS map auto.home: 

> cat /etc/auto.master 
/home   yp:auto.home	--timeout 60

But, this case is not treated in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs file. 
If you use a local /etc/auto.master file, you must use a local map. And if
you use a NIS auto.master file, you must use a NIS map too. 

Is it a known pb?

If not, I propose a correction in this init script that could be (look like
an old version):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ...
  if [ -f /etc/auto.master ]
  then
      cat /etc/auto.master | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'| (
      while read dir map options
      do
	  if [ ! -z "$dir" -a ! -z "$map" \
		-a x`echo "$map" | cut -c1` != 'x-' ]
	  then
(add in line 83)
--------->   if echo $map | grep -- ':' ; then
--------->	maptype=`echo $map | cut -d ':' -f 1`
--------->	map=`echo $map | cut -d ':' -f 2-`
--------->   fi
	     #convert -t to --timeout and save elsewhere
	     map=`echo "/etc/$map" | sed -e 's:^/etc//:/:'`
  ...

(And replace line 98 : )
  ...
  else
      echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir `basename $map` $options
$localoptions"
  ...
(by : )
  ...
  else
      echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir $maptype `basename $map` $options
$localoptions"
  ...				       ^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible to do something in this way for a next version  but before
rh7.0?

Thanks,

Best regards,
